How hard is it to disassemble and reassemble in order to squeeze it up into the attic?

hi i need to know if this antenna it arrive ready to use o i have to buy extra part o elements
29093
It realy does not disassemble the elements will only lay back aginest ther reflector and will go back in place when instuled.

I put mine in the attic. It is sitting on the floor, still in the box it came in. I have an ordinary pulldown stairway and got it up through that with no problem. Gets a PBS station 40 miles away through a bunch of trees, original version if that makes a difference.

Unsure. If I remember correctly, it arrived assembled and I don't recall disassembling it. I would never put an antenna in an attic because of the gain loss, though I suppose if the broadcast towers were nearby it might still work.

It collapses into a more or less flat rectangle. I was able to barely get it into an attic through an opening in the ceiling (by putting it through diagonally), but it was a very tight fit. It doesn't seem like it would come apart very easily.

I was able to squeeze it through a 25 inch attic opening. I got it down to 25 inches by taking off the front of the antenna (wing nuts) and removed the outer side of each set of bow ties (socket wrench). Then I had to cut the back part in half with a hack saw, I reassembled it in the attic and used aluminium strips with bolts and wing nuts to cobble it back together. It's working great! If you need VHF and UHF this is the antenna to get!

I didnt put mine in the attic but, in order to safely get it on my roof I "folded" it up. If you loosen the screws you can collapse it fairly flat and it will fit through most attic stairways. R//Joe

You would have to take it fully apart to move it. And it takes two poeple to do it

It takes about 20 minutes to assemble /disassemble. The legs have to be unscrewed and the safety edge cover will have to be removed before it folds in half. Not super simple but doable.

It's not difficult. I don't remember how long it took. Once it's together, if you move it, you have to be sure everything is square. It's a little flimsy but works fine as long as it is assembled correctly.

Not too hard. Took about half an hour. Certainly would be easier having some help. I did it by myself. I'm comfortable building things so doing it myself wasn't a stretch for me. If you've put together IKEA- type furniture, then this would be very similar.

The entire unit is disassembled. My husband is very handy and it took him about 90min from opening the box to full assembly. It want difficult but you have to follow the directions completely

It comes disassembled in a box that's pretty slender and thus can fit through any doorway. Once it's assembled, I would advise against disassembling again to move it, but it could probably be done as well, though the quality may suffer.

I don't want to say it would be impossible to disassemble and reassemble but it is not designed to do so so it would take some creative engineering to get it back together without it looking bad.

It can be taken apart, but it's much harder than putting it together. I would try to move it in one piece if possible.

No it would have to be taken apart. I had to put the whole thing in a garbage bag and put in the attic to store.

Mine came assembled and I don't see a way (or at least an easy way) to disassemble it.

It will come apart with minor effort. I would strongly suggest that 2 people assemble it - I did it myself and my language was rather colorful.

Not difficult, but you do need 2 people for certain parts as it is long and heavy. Get everything together loosely and then tighten it up

Yes. You would disassemble it in the same fashion you'd assemble it. It would take 15 minutes to remove all the screws, etc.

Not hard, but takes some patience. Work bottom up and don't tighten everything until you're done.

I think you could disassemble easily enough, but I might be concerned with sturdiness after re-assembling. The screws might not "bite" like they do after initial construction. Though the screws are mainly for the outside shell, so it might be fine

First assemble by the steps in the instructions. Do not jump ahead. It is difficult to take apart, but not impossible. you have to carefully detach each piece. In the other hand if you remove the dirt and have some help, it is not hard to pick the entire structure up and move it to a new location. The ground stakes on the corners of the high section are hard to get re-established solidly in the new location. But once it is full of dirt it stays put.
